Abstract Background Patterns of species diversity are the result of speciation and extinction processes, and molecular phylogenetic data can provide valuable information to derive their variability through time and across clades.Bayesian Markov chain Monte Yoga Gear Carlo methods offer a promising framework to incorporate phylogenetic uncertainty w
We report on an additional limitation that has been found in Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA) sensors due to the so-called second-order nonlocal effects (NLE).Second-order NLE appear in BOTDA setups that deploy a double probe waves to compensate the transfer of energy between the pump pulse and the probe wave, and are related to a spe
Background: The duration of orthodontic treatment Wipes is often a significant deterrent for patients when considering conventional mechanics, which can be time-consuming.Photobiomodulation (PBM) utilizes visible red to near-infrared wavelengths of light frequencies to expedite orthodontic treatment time.Objective: To investigate the effect of thre
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are increasingly used in environmental monitoring applications.They are designed to operate for several months by featuring low activity cycles in Slide-In Gas Range order to save energy.In this paper, we propose a Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for suchWSNs with very low duty-cycles of 1% and less.Nodes are ac
We developed a statistical model to estimate the abundances of potentially interacting species encountered while conducting point-count surveys at a set of ecologically relevant locations - as in a metacommunity of species.In the model we assume that abundances of species Hanoverian Bridle with similar traits (e.g., body size) are potentially corre
